Well now I'm embarrassed to post a wrist shot since Kenneth's invaded the thread, but here you guys go. I took a few and this was the best I could manage with my point and shoot without a tripod.
For reference my wrists are as massive as Kenneth's. It wears very comfortably and almost on the small side, if you're used to other 42mm divers. It is pretty bulky and tall for a watch on the compact side, but doesn't shift on the wrist hardly at all. I'm really liking the brushed bracelet as well.
Lume last night was super legible and the combination of the small hour hand and the large minute hand gives Doxa one of the most legible lume profiles at a glance.

Congrats, Matt!!! Thanks for the 1000 vs 1200 comparison.
If I jump into the DOXA pool again, the 1200 will probably be the one.

A couple thoughts after wearing it for awhile.
It's still a bit heavier than I remember the 1000T being. I'm going to have to fiddle with the fit and micro adjustments a bit to try to get the fit right - it's not quite comfortable on my wrist yet. For reference, my tastes have gradually been shifting toward moderate sized watches, and I'm a big fan of titanium.
Still really love the watch though - just need to get it to sit right so I can love it on my wrist.
Timekeeping is pretty good - I think around +3-4 seconds last I checked.

My 1200T-'rambler should be shipping tommorow or Tue., looking forward to it, as I miss all the Doxa's I've owned
